Fictional character biography

edit

Sentry-459

edit

The Sentries' main purpose is to stand guard over military outposts and depots throughout the Kree Empire. Sentry-459 accompanied a Kree scientific party that journeyed to Earth to experiment on sub-humans (which in turn created theInhumans). When the Kree left Earth, Sentry-459 remained to monitor Inhuman progress, so that the Kree could later use them as a militia force. Sentry-459 remained inert but observing until activated by the superheroes theFantastic Four,who fought it to a standstill. Considering itself defeated when the Fantastic Four escaped, the Sentry sent a signal to the Kree alerting them to the presence of meta-humans on Earth and then deactivated itself (the KreeRonan the Accuserinvestigates the signal and battles the Fantastic Four soon after).[1]

The Sentry was then transported by the U.S. Army toCape Canaveral,where it was reactivated by the Kree ColonelYon-Rogg,the leader of the Kree expedition then investigating Earth. Yon-Rogg hoped the Sentry would kill the heroCaptain Marvel,another member of expedition. Mar-Vell, however, managed to defeat it.[2]

Ronan the Accuser later reactivated the Sentry and used it in an attempt to reverse the course of evolution on Earth, but it was once again defeated by Mar-Vell.[3]The Kree agents attempt to retrieve the Sentry but are driven off by spy agencyS.H.I.E.L.D.The Sentry was seen again when activated by theSuper-Adaptoid,who used the robot as part of his teamHeavy Metalin a bid to destroy the superhero team theAvengers.[4]It returned in theBlackwulfseries, having been found byUltron,[5]and joins the Underground Legion[6]but was eventually destroyed in the series finale.[7][8]
